15th Riigikogu, 3rd sitting, plenary session
The speaker is challenging Estonia's 2004 decision to accede to the Ottawa Convention (the ban on anti-personnel landmines), arguing that military considerations were not adequately taken into account. He puts forward a strong security-based argument, emphasizing the effectiveness and low cost of mines as a defensive measure, referring to them as "the poor man's atomic bombs." He seeks to initiate a debate regarding the potential reversal of this decision given the current geopolitical climate.

The criticism is primarily aimed at the effectiveness of the government's actions and its underlying value choices.
